Artist Statement:
I find myself on a path to search and heal the self; bringing compassion to the odd and care to the unlovable. I play with translating intuitive impulses, weight, space, sensation and irrational connections to free situations. It is through releasing these beings and objects of their stagnant symbolism that I believe one can see clearly and with a fresh sense of wonder.I search both inner and outer surroundings, my past and the present for unity and for a depth in myself and the human character unknown to me stillI feel that there is light at the center of darkness and a shadow with every ray of light. I wish to see beyond the concepts of good or evil, rational or irrational, light or dark from the standpoint of the eternal so to see what continues and what rots.My aim is to heal and mend that which is broken, to birth that which is unknown and to incubate the unborn; the endless possibility.

"It is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye." -Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
